I have been doing genealogical research since 1984. I retired from the Air Force in 1994. I recently became a volunteer of RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) for Somerset County, Maine. I am a member of the Maine Old Cemeteries Association, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and the Buckfield Historical Society. I am also Historian and Past Commander of John D. Long Post #58, American Legion, Buckfield, Maine. I am a son of

Findagrave is an excellent way to reunite families by linking them together. Most families are buried together, so finding where they are buried helps to reconstruct families. Linking them together using the census is also helpful. I have a few "trees" on ancestry.com that I use in conjunction with my findagrave research. Not everyone can afford membership to ancestry.com, so linking families together on findagrave can help more people find their lost kin.
I will [Transfer] memorials.
I feel that we can make more meaningful memorials on FindAGrave if volunteers can work together instead of using the "Family First policy of Four Generations" as an excuse to keep memorials from being corrected...
If you are afraid of making transfers (I guess in the old days people would delete the transferred memorial) there is an alternative to the long and tedious process of having the other contributor "spoon feed" the information to you. Do a "temporary transfer". This is done the same as a normal transfer, but with the understanding that once the updates and links are made, it gets transferred BACK to the creator. This involves TRUST. It is best to do just one memorial at a time. If it doesn't get transferred back... NO MORE SOUP FOR YOU! "Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me!" Please, give it a try. There are so many "inactive" volunteers these days, the rest of us need to be able to work together and not bicker. When you click on [Transfer Management] the instructions state: "This action is PERMANENT and can not be undone." This is misleading. The PERMANENT implies that it will be lost to you FOREVER. That is true only if it NEVER gets transferred back to your control. The other aspect of TEAMWORK TRANSFER is that the person who contributes the research can add their name in the bio or notes with an embedded link. Contributors who say they will add information that you send to them don't always credit their source. They don't want others taking credit for the photos they post, but they don't think twice about taking credit for other people's research. Just pass it off as their own.
I have been working on families in Maine in the early 1800s, about the time that Maine became a state separate from Massachusetts. Many of these people seem to have gotten "lost in the shuffle", so I am trying to find where they are buried and link the families together.
I also have a "permission slip" from the Public Affairs office at Togus to take photos of the gravestones of the Disabled Volunteer Soldiers from the Eastern Branch of U.S. National Home that are buried in Togus National Cemetery.
Some people won't link to "unknown burial locations". A lot of old gravestones are "lost" in old cemeteries that have been neglected over the years. "Roots" helped to renew interest in cemeteries back in the 1970s. Old "lost" cemeteries are still being discovered as old family homesteads are being sold in this depressed economy. The families who lived there may have known about the old cemetery, but nobody else did.
Many of those old timers passed away long ago. We often know when and where they lived and died, but just don't know where their gravestone is. It is irresponsible to just stick them in any old cemetery in the town that they died in. It is a sure bet that SOMEBODY will request a gravestone photo and then someone else will go off on a "wild goose chase" looking for the gravestone.
When "unknown burial location" is used, there is always a risk of "duplication" if the gravestone is ever found in the real world.
By the way... these are all "virtual" cemeteries... this is the internet! Any resemblance to "real" cemeteries in the "real" world is purely coincidental. Right now Findagrave is more like FOUNDagrave. If they don't have a gravestone still standing... they didn't exist!!!
Just my opinion. Opinions are like rectums, we all have one... and the older we get the harder it is to keep from hearing them to ourselves!
"Live Long and Prosper!"

Allie Coxen
Hi Tim,
I've received your edit suggestions of Allie. However, her marker in the cemetery clearly shows her DOD as 19 Mar - not 9 Mar. Do you have documentation to support the change? Also, you're proposing changing her from Allie to Alice however the documentation I have for her shows the spelling as Alys if that indeed is her name.
I would also ask what documentation you have for the other changes you're proposing for both Allie and Sarah.

RE: Your great grandmother married a Durgin
We descend from Joseph P. Durgin who married Hannah Adams. Their son Joseph A married Clementine Sands (twin to Rebecca who married 2 Holden brothers from Jackman).
The Durgin Cemetery is like "home" for me. My mother adored Clem as she lived with them after Edna Burns Marshall left when the girls were young. My brothers, Chuck and Steve, as you saw, are both buried there as well. No, they are/were not twins. They were only 14 months apart though. Both appear to have died of something genetic at fairly early ages.
Thanks for the contact. I have spent many hours in the cemeteries in Moscow and others in Somerset County. My living Grandmother (second wife of Betrand) lives in Waterville so we visit at least once a year. :)

RE: Hannah Bates Adams, wife of Joseph Patten Durgin
OK - Found it in my e-mail and took care of it. It didn't come through as an edit, it came through as a note from you.
I'm presuming you're related to the Adams family? My ggrandmother married a Durgin. :)
Thanks for the info.

The Huffington Post UK | By Ashley Percival Posted: 12/04/2012 11:25 Updated: 12/04/2012 12:48
Cast your minds back to January. Yeah, yeah we know that seems like a long time ago now, but if you can delve back far enough you may remember Celebrity Big Brother housemate Georgia Salpa.
That's right - the Irish one with big boobs who had a bit of a love/hate relationship with Kirk Norcross.
Now, far be it from us to say that Georgia is desperately clinging onto her rapidly fading fifteen minutes, but surely she knew that throwing on a wedding dress in front of some baying paps when she's not actually getting married would generate a bit of free publicity?
The glamour model was dressed up in full bridal gear as she shot scenes for an Irish TV show yesterday.
She also teased her army of pubescent male fans before the shoot, tweeting she was getting married, along with a picture of her in the dress.
"Getting married today, like my dress," she tweeted.
Her fleeting moment as a bride was soon over though and it was back to, well, doing what Georgia Salpa usually does.
She tweeted: "Out of the wedding dress now sitting in the salon, getting my hair extensions out by @CeiraLambert."
We should have guessed.

Old Man Winter will be making another stormy visit to the North Fork Wednesday -- bringing a nor'easter, complete with a blast of snow accumulation, high winds, and coastal flooding, to the entire East End.
According to Michael Silva, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Upton, a "prolonged period of unsettled weather" is expected to begin Wednesday morning with a mix of rain and snow throughout the day.
The rain/snow mix is expected to turn completely to snow after around 7 or 8 p.m. Wednesday evening, with snow continuing to fall through Thursday night before changing back to rain on Friday.
Total accumulation is expected to reach two to four inches Wednesday night, with another two to four inches possible on Thursday. Accumulation on the South Fork might be a bit lower, Silva said.
"This is going to be a highly dynamic system," Silva added, explaining that the forecast could change slightly as the storm progresses.
Northeast winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour with gusts of up to 40 miles per hour are expected Wednesday; on Wednesday night, winds of 25 to 35 miles per hour with gusts of up to 50 miles per hour could slam the East End. On Thursday, winds are expected to be even stronger, at 30 to 35 miles per hour with gusts of up to 55 miles an hour.
Widespread minor coastal flooding with tidal departures of between two-and-a-half and three-and-a-half feet is expected, Silva said, along both the North and South Forks, with locally moderate amounts of flooding expected.
Temperatures are expected to reach highs in the low 40s and lows in the low 30s.
Silva said while the storm might not be as severe as the recent blizzard, which left up to three feet of snow in some areas, residents should leave extra time for travel, drive slowly, and take precautions.
"The main issue will be the winds, leading to the possibility of downed trees and power lines," Silva said. Residents should be prepared for the possibility of power outages, he added.

The Flaming Lips and Bon Iver, 'Ashes In The Air' – New Video
The Flaming Lips aren't quite done with their fwends. Nearly a year after unleashing the collaborative album 'The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends,' the psych-pop outfit has released a video for 'Ashes In the Air,' the disc's duet with Bon Iver. This clip has been sitting in the can for awhile -- apparently it was slated to debut last year, sometime around Christmas -- but it was pushed back for some unspecified reason. Whatever the cause of the delay, it was worth the wait.

The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center (ADARC) conducts multidisciplinary research on the behavioral and biological aspects of substance abuse. This approach is based on the premise that substance abuse reflects a complex interaction between the individual, the abused drugs and society. One goal of this research program is to improve understanding of the multiple determinants of drug abuse and alcoholism and to develop more effective treatment and prevention programs. A second goal is to evaluate the behavioral and biological consequences of substance abuse and dependence in clinical studies, and in preclinical models of drug abuse. A third goal is to train young scientists in research on the determinants, consequences and treatment of substance abuse in parallel clinical and preclinical studies.
The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center was founded by Jack H. Mendelson, M.D. and Nancy K. Mello, Ph.D. in 1974. The Center has been continuously funded by competitive research grants and contracts from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as by private donors. Over the past six years, NIH funds awarded to the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center have averaged 23.6 percent (range 15-33 percent) of all research revenues awarded to the McLean Hospital.
The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center consists of four major laboratories, each containing several research programs:
- The Behavioral Science Laboratory
Studying preclinical models of substance abuse and dependence, and evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new medications for the treatment of drug abuse and for the treatment of pain, and the interactions between abused drugs and the neuroendocrine system. The Behavioral Science Laboratory includes four programs; a Behavioral Pharmacology Program, a Behavioral Endocrinology Program, a Neurobiology Program and a Neuroscience Program.
- The Biological Psychiatry Laboratory
Harrison G. Pope, Jr., M.D. and James I. Hudson, M.D., Directors
Studying the interactions between biological factors and psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. The Biological Psychiatry Laboratory includes a Psychopharmacology Research Program, a Substance Abuse Research Program, a Child and Adolescent Research Program and a Psychiatric Epidemiology Program.
- The Clinical Research Laboratory
Examining biological and behavioral aspects of substance abuse in men and women who abuse or are dependent upon drugs, including nicotine, cocaine, opioids and alcohol. The Clinical Research Laboratory includes a Brain Imaging Program, a Neuroendocrinology Program and a Policy Research Program.
- The Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory
John Neumeyer, Ph.D., Director
Focusing on developing new compounds that will be used as molecular tools to modulate the activity of a variety of proteins (receptors) found in the brain and other complex biological systems. Details of the research conducted by each of these laboratories can be accessed from the links below.
Diagram of ADARC's Multidisciplinary Work (click to enlarge)
An important feature of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center is that all of its component laboratories are located in the same building to facilitate communication and interaction between the scientists and postdoctoral trainees. Another advantage of the Center's organizational structure is that parallel clinical and preclinical studies can be conducted in several disciplines. The multidisciplinary research areas currently being investigated by ADARC scientists are summarized in the diagram at the right.
ADARC scientists have received a number of national and international awards for their research. These awards include the Jellinek Memorial Award for Research on Alcoholism, the Distinguished Research Award from the Research Society on Alcoholism, the Betty Ford Award from AMERSA, the Founders Award from AAPAA, the Joseph Cochin Young Investigator Award from the College on Problems of Drug Dependence, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from United States President William J. Clinton, and the Alfred Pope Young Investigator Award from the McLean Hospital.

The Slow of Esther (One)
Esther was preparing to become a hero.
Esther was becoming a hero.
And she did this by not eating for three days??
That doesn't quite sit right with me.
Esther was getting in touch with herself, her voice, her power.
Maybe she had to take time for herself, to grow into herself. Maybe formal palace meals were big occasions, and she stayed away from them for a few days while she gathered her courage and formulated her plan. Maybe that's what "fasting" meant.
I don't think that she didn't eat during this time. I think that she stayed away from public eating, stayed away from being in public altogether.
She fed herself food, and she also nourished herself by taking space for herself.
And she slowed down.
She slowed down, so she could catch up with herself, start to believe what Mordecai said: maybe this is what I am here for.
This year, I honor each of us in our inner Esther's, as we take the space we need to grow into ourselves. And I honor each of us in our inner Mordecai's, as we support each other to grow.
This year, I wrote down on my calendar that March 1 is the Slow of Esther.
The Slow of Esther (Two)
This year, I wrote down on my calendar that March 1 is the Slow of Esther.
I did not have to cross out "the Fast of Esther" in my calendar, because my calendar didn't already have "the Fast of Esther" written on that day. Because it's not a Jewish calendar.
I am an American Jew. I do not live in Israel. I will not be surrounded by fresh hamentaschen of all varieties at the shuk this year. The air I'm breathing in America isn't Jewish.
But I'm breathing Jewishly, infusing the air around me with Torah. And this Torah is both deeply rooted, and new in the moment.
It takes a lot of effort to be Jewish here in America, something I don't usually notice because I'm so used to it.
In the constant effort it takes to be an observant Jew here in America, a freshness emerges.
And for that, I am grateful.

For What It's Worth
6:25 AM CST, February 14, 2013
(WICHITA, Kan.)
For What it's Worth---on this February 14 -- Valentine's Day observation from my ten-year-old daughter thumbing through the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition; "the swimsuits are all too small".
There have been glimpses…
…but last night furnished the first extended view of what you have to look forward to for the next three years with Fred Van Vleet. His 17 points, 9 assists and 35 minutes were all career highs. He also threw in 5 rebounds, a blocked shot and 2 steals for good measure. I love this young man's ability to change speeds, he plays slow to fast as well as any Shocker in recent history. He has great hands, which help him trap and 'dig' on the defensive end and he'll continue to improve on keeping opposing guards in front of him. He's going to be a star in the Valley.
When shots aren't falling---
What do you do to help your team? Cleanthony Early was 3-11 from the floor against Drake, but he had 5 boards, 4 blocks and 3 steals. That's not to mention the general havoc he created defecting passes, or poking the ball loose. He was really active on a night when some scorers could have been sulking.
Deck the Hall---
With 14 against Drake, Carl Hall passed 500 points for his two year career at Wichita State. His 10 rebounds gave him his sixth double-double of the season, his second since returning from that broken thumb.
Is Creighton wilting?
The Jays lost at Northern Iowa which, in itself, there's no shame in. But Creighton has now lost three straight and five of their last eight games, to fall a game out of the conference lead with only four to play. CU is fortunate that Wichita State blew a 17 point lead at Southern Illinois and figured out a way to lose; otherwise they'd be down two with four to go.
Handicapping the stretch run---
Wichita State leads by a game over Creighton and Indiana State. The Shockers have the toughest stretch of the three contenders. WSU hosts Evansville and travels to Illinois State, Indiana State and Creighton. Go 3-1 in that stretch and the Shockers can do no worse that tie for their second straight Valley title. Creighton goes to Evansville next and then has a trip to Bradley. They host SIU and the Shockers, so their degree of difficulty isn't as high as WSU, but they're starting with a deficit. Indiana State may have the easiest go it, the Sycamores travel to Bradley on Saturday and close out the regular season at Evansville. In between they host Wichita State and Drake. For Wichita State to repeat they're going to have to be the team that started the season 6-1 away from home, instead of the one that's 1-3 in their last 4 trips.

"If you are traveling with the family, may we suggest purchasing an off-peak ten-trip ticket! In addition to the discount, it is transferrable, so everyone can use it. (It really is like the gift that you can keep giving.)"

Overview: General Game Playing
General game players are computer systems able to play strategy games based solely on formal game descriptions supplied at "runtime" (n other words, they don't know the rules until the game starts). Unlike specialized game players, such as Deep Blue, general game players cannot rely on algorithms designed in advance for specific games; they must discover such algorithms themselves. General game playing expertise depends on intelligence on the part of the game player and not just intelligence of the programmer of the game player. GGP is an interesting application in its own right. It is...

Nature's Path & Way To Go
11:45 AM CDT, October 13, 2010
Let's see a show of hands. How many have gone across the Arrigoni Bridge? Wow! Now how many have walked, run or biked across the bridge that connects Middletown and Portland. Hey, where did all the hands go?
Growing up in the wilds of Portland, the Arrigoni Bridge was my link to the big city. As a country boy, I would hoist my backpack over my shoulders, get on my bike and pedal the 4 miles to the center of town and across the Connecticut River into the bright city lights of Middletown. From here I would trek down Main Street to places like Central News for comics or Woolworth's – a real five and dime store. Or take the backroads to department stores like Caldor and Bradlees where I would spend my hard-earned allowance.
But the highlight of my journey was crossing the robin egg blue steel arch bridge over the Connecticut that shook when a large truck or tractor trailer truck thundered past. I recently returned to one of the state's oldest bridges across the Connecticut River and walked along the south side of the Arrigoni before returning on the north side.
My journey started on the Middletown side along North Main Street. If you are looking for a peaceful fall journey, this isn't it. Cars and trucks are your constant companion as you make your way along a sidewalk only several feet and a Jersey barrier away from traffic.
As you make your way up the bridge, you feel like a plane taking off as the skyline of Middletown comes into view and eventually the Connecticut River 100 feet below. The peak foliage of the surrounding hills fills the viewscape. The old rusted Air Line Railroad bridge remains forever open as trains no longer journey cross the river. A "Come On Over" sign welcomes those crossing the bridge into Portland.
Halfway across the bridge is a plaque that reads: "Charles J. Arrigoni Bridge, opened to traffic August 6, 1938." The $3.5 million bridge was actually built over a span of two years. The bridge is 3,420 feet long with two 600-foot spans. Like some big erector set, it took 110,000 rivets to link the pieces of Bethlehem steel together.
Visitors descend the southern side of the bridge and then walk underneath the bridge to the northern side of the Arrigoni. Here you get a more natural view of the mighty Connecticut after passing the oil tanks far below. Beyond the tanks, Portland's famous brownstone quarries stand silently its stone quarried a few hundred years ago. Out in the middle of the river is Wilcox Island, a long ago city park connected by a pedestrian bridge where people came to watch prize fights or picnic by the shore.
The walk comes to an end after descending and passing over a busy Route 9, a railyard and the houses of the city's north end. Visitors can walk down Spring Street to Rome Avenue and Stack Street and back up North Main to the north side of the bridge.
When I got my drivers license, my backpack was put away and the bike collected cobwebs. But each time I cross the Arrigoni, I'm transported back to a simpler time when I rode my bike from the country to the city and watched a mighty river flow past.
Parking is in Middletown along North Main Street off Route 66 next to St. John Church or along Main Street in Portland. Visit http://www.courant.com/cthiking for more adventures in the natural world.

Learn to grow grapes and make wine at a world-class university in the heart of New York's wine region.
Due to rapid growth in the region's wine industry, there simply aren't enough people qualified to manage vineyards and run wineries. Cornell is helping to fill this void through the undergraduate major in Viticulture and Enology (grape growing and winemaking).
Programs tailored to New York and other cool-climate regions
Cornell's Viticulture and Enology major addresses the region's unique challenges—the climate, soils, varieties, pests, and markets—while also providing an excellent grounding in other regions' climates, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques. The wine industry in New York and the Northeast has rapidly expanded, creating a need for people with the skills to manage vineyards and run wineries. If you can grow it here, you can grow it anywhere!
The Flexibility to Personalize Your Major
Whether focusing on growing grapes or making wine, you can choose the electives that target your interests. For example, students can concentrate on business and management by taking electives in the college's Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management.
Internships are an integral part of the program, and, with New York's nearly 1,400 vineyards and wineries, there's no end to interesting opportunities at home or abroad.
Transfer students are welcome, but will need to plan carefully in order to complete the course of study in two years.

Meeting Notes 2011 05 24
[edit] Agenda
The 162th Meeting of Noisebridge
Note-taker: Liz Henry
Moderator: Danny O'Brien
[edit] Introduction and Names
- What Noisebridge is about: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Round of introductions: Danny. Max from Portland. Mike, Kelly who hacks brains and your money, the guy eating dinner, some people at other table, John the australian guy, Shannon, and some Arduino people, Randall, Alex, Ilya the guy doing Hack Politics, Ryan, Julian, Philip who is writing code, Steve here for the first time, and the entire German Corner.
[edit] Announcements
What's going on at Noisebridge. Go look at the wiki. We have 5 minutes of fame, we did lots of Maker Faire things, vegan hacking coming up, SF chapter of the Open organization of lock pickers who will do their event as soon as they can break in. BioBridge, Django, etc. Danny explains BioBridge which is an Arduino thing set up to sense things about the kombucha. They measure turbidity, temperature, ph, and so on. They got a Maker Faire 2011 editor's choice award. Hey, cool, the brewing project spawned an electronics project. Second Saturday is coming up in 3 weeks for June and is for infrastructure hacking. We are a do-ocracy etc etc. New guy Ryan asks who to talk with because his company is just donating some servers. Kelly says to email the rack list (https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo) and ask.
Crutcher is putting together a group on meta-heuristic optimization. He has been putting a lot of time into it lately and wants to know if anyone else is interested.
[edit] Financial Report
Funds in bank: 16,913.79. Rent has not gone through yet, so subtract rent from that. There is also another transfer about to go through. Tshirt money from Maker Faire has not come in yet.
Our taxes. Which were late. We forgot to file an extension. Our tax guy, we have issues with him. He did our taxes last year and they were screwed up. He had to redo them and claimed his assistant did them wrong. OUr treasurer caught the errors. He said he would do our taxes for free this year in exchange. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. We should have hired someone else. He told us the late fee was $20 a month but the IRS tells us it is $20 per business day , since the 16th. We sent him our information on the 19th and we haven't heard back from him and then finally this morning heard from him. He can't get to our stuff for another week or so. ($20 a day). What do people think we should do at this point?
We don't pay any taxes, we just file a 990N. But it is complex enough to need someone professional to do it for us. How did we find this guy? He's a hipster accountant. T*x N*nja. Feedback from people at the meeting: Why would we ever trust this guy again?
What other non profits might talk with us about what they do or rec us a tax person? Hackerdojo? Walk SF? Box Shop?
[edit] Membership Binder
Ryan Salisbury is now been read for 4 weeks and is up for membership Eric Steinberg Ryan wants to be a member because the space looks interesting and could be useful to him, tools are awesome, and he wants to support the space and the work it does. Crutcher who is wearing a red shirt that says BLOCK asks if he likes arguments that go on and on and on and on. Ryan says, give him an example of an argument. And that some are good for the mailing list, like bedbugs, which he has seen no evidence of. Kelly grills Ryan on his feelings about consensus decision making. Ryan mentions radical bike activism and thinks consensus okay but would tend to drop out of exhausting long arguments rather than blocking for reasons he doesn't feel very strongly about it. Alex says he has good insight into plasma treating polyurethane or something. Woo! Gosh we are asking Ryan quite a lot of questions. Ryan contributed to iChat's videoconferencing framework and various other software projects. People are asking Ryan quite a lot of questions. We devolve into general Apple dev gossip. Apparently he brought several 6 packs already. He goes off to Safeway for a while.
Ryan is discussed briefly and is now a member.

[edit] Discussion Items
Danny recuses himself from being the moderator for the meeting since he is the subject of it. Item, that Noisebridge make Danny O'Brien secretary. This was discussed last week. Some people expressed uneasiness that Danny has TOO MUCH POWER.
Crutcher, who is wearing a hilarious bright red tshirt that says BLOCK on it, remarks that Danny looks rather shifty.
What does the secretary do? They interface with companies for us. They see to it that notes are taken at meetings. They negotiate with insurance so Kelly doesn't have to, and track the membership stuff. Stuff that is necessary which isn't actually bookkeeping. Kelly just wants a helper to do a bunch of work, basically, and Danny has agreed to do it.
No one blocks.
Danny adds in that SETH HAS BEEN VERY AWESOME as secretary.
[edit] End of Meeting
- PGP Key Signing could happen now, check the list to see who wants in on the action.
- Put back the membership binder by the Shrine.
- Save the meeting notes to the wiki.
- Send a copy of the meeting notes to the discussion list.

- Enjoy a cocktail with your fellow hacker or robot.

The 10th Kingdom is similar, yeah, but I can see a lot of differences. These universes aren't two separate ones coexisting. The fairy tale kingdom came before this one. Ours sort of overlayed that one.
I dunno about the tunnels. I think only Henry thought it was a portal of some sort. I never actually heard it mentioned what was down there, just that he thought something was. And the shard? I thought that was a piece of the queen's magic mirror. I guess we'll find out eventually lol
I think the queen is just another pawn. She thinks she's ruling it all but Mr. Gold's the real puppet master. And if anyone remembers anything, betcha it's him and not her.

Financial Markets and Institutions:
Better Information Sharing Among Financial Services Regulators Could Improve Protections for Consumers
GAO-04-882R: Published: Jun 29, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 29, 2004.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO has long held the position that financial regulators can benefit from improved information sharing. As regulators are faced with the challenges of overseeing a myriad of financial products, along with the individuals and organizations that develop and sell them, information sharing among regulators serves as a key defense against fraud and market abuses. However, our system of financial regulation is fragmented and, in many cases, isolated among numerous federal and state financial regulators overseeing the securities, insurance, and banking industries. While there has been a greater effort to improve communication in recent years, the routine sharing of information between the regulators of the three major financial industries--securities, insurance, and banking--continues to be a source of concern. At Congress' request, we have issued reports and testimonies in recent years discussing the benefits of improved sharing of criminal and regulatory information and the consequences of failing to adequately share such information. This report focuses on three areas where greater attention is needed to improve information-sharing capabilities among financial services regulators. First, we highlight the need for insurance regulators to have more consistent access to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) nationwide criminal history data. Second, we discuss the importance of sharing regulatory enforcement data as a tool to prevent the migration of undesirable people, or rogues, from one industry to another. Third, we present the results of new work assessing the regulatory oversight structures for certain hybrid financial products and the extent to which regulators share consumer complaint data that may be relevant to multiple regulators in a routine, systematic fashion. Finally, we highlight challenges to improving information sharing among financial regulators.
Financial regulators face challenges in accessing and sharing information relevant to their oversight responsibilities, including information related to criminal history data, regulatory enforcement actions, and consumer complaints. Specifically, we found that many state insurance regulators, unlike their counterparts in the banking, securities, and futures industries, continue to lack the legal authority to access the FBI's nationwide criminal history data. According to information obtained from state regulators and the FBI, fewer than one-third of the states have taken actions that current federal law requires for them to have such authority. Consequently, regulators in other states cannot be sure that they are protecting insurance consumers from fraud by keeping individuals previously convicted of serious criminal behavior out of the business of insurance. We also found that financial regulators generally did not have ready access to all relevant data related to regulatory enforcement actions taken against individuals or firms. Regulatory data are maintained by the various financial regulators on separate information systems and are not always readily accessible by one another, particularly by regulators across different financial industries. If the regulatory history of applicants cannot be readily accessed, financial regulators are hampered in their ability to detect and prevent an unsuitable individual, or rogue, from migrating from one financial services industry to another. Similarly, our recent work shows that many financial regulators do not share relevant consumer complaint data among themselves on certain hybrid products in a routine, systematic fashion. The different regulatory structures that are involved in the oversight of hybrid products and the array of systems used to capture complaints about them create challenges for regulators and consumers for resolving problems that can arise in the marketplace. We found that the regulatory oversight structure associated with certain hybrid financial products can vary considerably, depending on the product and where it is sold. Moreover, the regulatory structure can change over time. Often multiple regulators can have an oversight interest in a particular hybrid financial product. In such an environment, it can be difficult for consumers to determine which organization should receive a complaint. Furthermore, once a complaint is received, it may be relevant to another regulator, either because it may not have reached the most appropriate regulator or because the complaint information could be of interest to multiple regulators. However, many financial regulators do not share consumer complaint data with one another in a routine, systematic fashion. Consequently, particularly in the case of hybrid financial products, regulators may be unable to resolve individual complaints because complaints have been directed to the "wrong" regulator, or, because of a lack of complete information, an individual regulator may not be able to fully assess the magnitude of problems affecting certain companies or products. While financial regulators generally support better sharing of regulatory information, they also cited some concerns and barriers. These generally centered around protecting confidential regulatory information from public disclosure, as opposed to technological issues. Consequently, options or proposals for improving information-sharing capabilities or tools among financial regulators need to address concerns about sharing and protecting different types of regulatory data that have varying degrees of sensitivity. We encourage efforts to achieve improved information sharing, balancing a regulator's "need to know" with the appropriate protections on the information, so that financial regulators can better prevent the migration of rogues and respond more effectively to problems that may surface in the marketplace.

Altitude Training For The Non-Elite
- By Jeff Gaudette
- Published Mar. 31, 2014
If you're in the mountains for work or leisure, make the most of your time at altitude and don't let it get the best of you.
For runners who don't live in the Eastern Sierras or in the hills of Colorado, altitude training is a tactic normally associated with elite athletes looking for an edge. However, many runners may end up training or racing at altitude at some point in their running career. Perhaps your goal race is run at altitude (e.g, the Rock 'n' Roll Denver Marathon and half Marathon, or the St. George Marathon, which starts at 5,000 feet and drops 2,560 feet); maybe you happen to have a work conference scheduled somewhere other than at sea level; or maybe you're planning on taking your family vacation to the mountains to escape the oppressive summer heat. Whatever your reason for spending a brief amount of time in the thin, mountain air, how can you make the most of your time at altitude and not let it get the best of you?
This article won't be an in-depth discussion about the physiological adaptations elicited by altitude training; rather, we're going to focus on specific and practical steps you can take to make the most of your brief altitude stint, whether it's to train, race or just visit for work or vacation.

Low-budget versions of the Magoo theatrical cartoons, made for television.
This series was a low-budget version of the Magoo theatrical cartoons, made specifically for television.
UPA and Kellogg's Cereals had signed a distribution agreement for the televised Mister Magoo series, with Kellogg's thinking it would have the last word on program content. At the last minute, however, UPA decided against any sponsor's veto and backed out of the deal.
UPA managed to sell the series by itself to 150 markets, some of which scheduled episodes in prime time. The popularity of Mister Magoo enabled UPA to sell Dick Tracy, its next series, without making a pilot episode.
UPA ending up setting up a production agreement with Henry Saperstein. Saperstein discarded UPA's reputation for quality and actively entered the made-for-TV cartoon market. Saperstein produced 130 cheaply made Mr. Magoo cartoons which premiered in syndication on November 7, 1960.
From September 18, 1989 to September 16, 1990, episodes from this series and DePatie-Freleng's "What's New, Mr. Magoo?" were rebroadcast (along with UPA cartoons from "The Gerald McBoing Boing Show") on the USA Network under the title of "Mr. Magoo & Friends" as part of "Cartoon Express."

NBA GMs pick Heat, LeBron to repeat in poll
NEW YORK (AP) — NBA general managers are predicting the Miami Heat to repeat as NBA champions and LeBron James to win another MVP award.
The GMs gave high marks to the Los Angeles Lakers' moves and picked them to win the Western Conference, but the Heat got 70 percent of the votes to win the 2013 championship.
Those were among the results of the annual NBA.com GM Survey, released Monday. All 30 executives were polled and could not vote for their own teams or players. Responders voted the Hornets' Anthony Davis as the likely Rookie of the Year and the Spurs' Gregg Popovich as the league's best coach.
Full results of the more than 50 questions are available on NBA.com.
